Acid, Bases, and pH
Difference
Acidosis
: Acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the body fluids.
Alkalosis
: Alkalosis is a condition in which there is too much base in the body fluids.
Metabolic
acidosis and metabolic alkalosis are caused by an imbalance in the production of acids or bases and their excretion by the kidneys.
Respiratory
acidosis and respiratory alkalosis are caused by changes in carbon dioxide exhalation due to lung or breathing disorders.
Properties
Acid
Taste
: Sour
Touch
: -
Colour
: Mineral acids are clear liquids, but impurities can cause sulphuric acid to turn a yellowish color.Solids of some organic acids have a white color.
Solubility
: Soluble in Water
Bases
Taste
: Bitter
Touch
: Slippery
Colour
: Bases are colourless except for the hydroxides of iron and copper.
Solubility
: Some bases are soluble in water. They are called alkalis.
Acid Definition
: A chemical species that accepts electrons or donates protons or hydrogen ions is an acid. It is also a chemical that reacts with some metals to form salts and releases hydrogen ions into water. A solution with a pH lower than 7 is called an acid.
Bases Definition
: A substance that can react with hydrogen ions to neutralize the acid is called a base. A solution with a pH higher than 7 is called a base.
pH definition
: pH tells how acidic or basic the water is.The value of 7 is neutral, and the range is from 0 to 14.
The example of acids and bases in nature
:
Acids: Lemons, oranges, vinegar, and sulfuric acid.
Bases: Soap, toothpaste, bleach, cleaning agents, limewater, ammonia water, and sodium hydroxide.
Example of Acids and Bases in our body
: Acid: Enzyme, carbon dioxide, and hydrochloric acid.
Base: Bicarbonate
Urine: Can be both, based on what we eat
